WHITE OAK FROZEN FOODS LLC. FORMED
TO MARKET REDUCED MOISTURE™ IQF VEGETABLES

June 15, 2002: White Oak Frozen Foods LLC, has concluded an exclusive co-pack agreement whereby Cebro Frozen Foods, Newman, CA will produce Reduced Moisture™ (RM) IQF Vegetables under the White Oak brand.

White Oak President, Harold "Arch" Archibald says the initial focus for the new company will be to satisfy the rapidly growing demand for these new REDUCED MOISTURE™ IQF Vegetables - especially Tomatoes, Chili Peppers, Onions, Broccoli and Zucchini.

RM Vegetables are produced using the combined technology of dehydration and freezing to eliminate 30% to 50 % of the initial moisture of the fresh vegetable. The resulting control of moisture of the vegetable piece reduces clumping, eliminates syneresis, and intensifies color and flavor.

Installation of the specialized equipment required to produce RM products within the Cebro facility is underway, with start scheduled for August, 2002.

The critical functional advantage of the RM process in controlling syneresis as the frozen vegetable is thawed or heated at the point of consumption opens up many new uses of RM IQF Vegetables that were not available to product and menu development specialists in the past.

With the use of RM IQF Vegetables, soggy vegetables and wet spots in a finished food product are eliminated. Other benefits of this new process are reduced shipping and handling by 25 - 50%, improved freeze/thaw stability, very free flowing, and excellent micro control thru an all natural SHS system.

This new venture will bring together a unique team of experienced individuals in vegetable crop management, processing and ingredient marketing.

In addition to Archibald, the White Oak management team will consist of Skip Cerutti, Richard Brown and Dan Wilkinson.

Cerutti and Brown have operated Cebro Frozen Foods since it's inception in 1993. The Cerutti family has been involved in local agriculture since 1912. In addition to Cebro Frozen Foods, they also farm several thousand acres on the West side of the San Joaquin Valley. Richard "Rich" Brown came to Cebro in 1993, having spent 13 years with the Del Monte Company.

Archibald and Wilkinson have an accumulated 75 years of experience in sales and marketing of frozen and dehydrated vegetables with Basic American, Inc., McCormick and Co., and General Foods Corp.
